Upper Peninsula Michigan and Auction Win Outcomes

-

I was up in Wisconsin and the UP (upper peninsula) in Michigan. It was a lot of driving after launching/landing in Appleton WI. I got an item off the bucket list by driving across the "Mighty Mac". Altough it was built in the late '50s. It is still the longest suspension span in the Northern hemisphere. It is a crazy long bridge with a crazy long suspension span. It was good to see the bridge in context of the seemingly endless forests of Northern Wisconsin and Michigan. The culture in the two haves of Michigan are noticibly different as you might expect. Great time meeting with folks both in WI and MI. The tractor I won in auction, seems to have paid off. This time I beat the odds. It was a really good deal. I have the "no-key, non-running, may have hydraulic problems, unknown hours" -auction win, running well with minimal cost and time. I have some more tweaks, maintenance and minor fixes but the major risks are gone.

The new year is started off pretty well. I have to admit that parking my sports car in my hanger after I pull out the plane to go flying was a great experience. We took this photo of the Ugly products at one of the Asian markets close by in Duluth. I guess they are trying to say "seconds". I was in Tampa for a day or so, this week I will be in Detroit for the day. I finally got around to plotting the flight log from one of our flights in Hawaii. It was 174NM. Very memorable. I have been talking with some folks going on an Expedition to an Antarctica Island called Heard island. Very interesting. We are looking forward to and planning our party on March 8th in Duluth. It will be good to see people.
